How I Turned Hot Water Tank Drain Pans Into Wall Decor- Our DIY Home

Originally I was looking for a round tray to use for my daughters magnetic alphabet letters, commonly seen on most fridges. I wanted a cute metal tray that we could put away without the little letters winding up on the floor like 99% of her other toys. I bought two of these trays, brought them home and found the magnets don’t work on them.

I needed a plan for these two round trays I bought, otherwise they were being returned the next day. I looked in my hardware drawer and found some hardware that could be used to cover the holes, and my brain started firing out ideas for these trays. I had an idea….

Two very large washers were sandwiched on either side covering the hole and holding the hardware in place. Metal rope, ( originally used to hang planters ) was attached to either side. The pans and rope was painted in a light gray. Curtain holders were used as a decorative element above the pans. Two vintage brass candlestick holders were manipulated into the design to make it work.

When I am not busy writing for hersite.info, I am making supper, and juggling our websites while doing the laundry. I am living the dream life! I love being a wife and a mom. We live in the middle of the mountains and never get tired of the view. I married my dream man. Walk along side me as I discover the world being a mom, a wife, and daughter of the most high God. Please visit my other website to learn about my faith. It defines who I am, and has to be the most exciting aspect of my life so far. I am collecting the dreams that many believers see coming to America and around the world. I am finding it a fascinating adventure.
